Miss Grand Thailand 2024



Miss Grand Thailand 2024 (มิสแกรนด์ไทยแลนด์ 2024) was the 11th edition of the Miss Grand Thailand pageant, held on April 6, 2024, at the organizer-owned hall, MGI Hall, located in the Bravo BKK Mall, Bangkok. Representatives of seventy-seven administrative divisions of the country competed for the title, of whom a 27-year-old Thai-Singaporean beauty influencer and entrepreneur representing Phuket, Malin Chara-anan, was announced the winner. Malin was crowned by Miss Grand Thailand 2023, Thaweeporn Phingchamrat of Chumphon, and will represent Thailand at the international pageant, Miss Grand International 2024, to be held on 25 October 2024 in Myanmar.

Initially, the pageant boot camp was programmed to be arranged in Songkhla Province,  but was later canceled due to the opposing political views between the national organizer and the royalist and conservative local governments, and Phuket Province was chosen as the replacement, making it the second time the pageant was hosted in the province.

The event was live-transmitted to audiences worldwide via the pageant's YouTube channel, GrandTV, with a Thai-Australian Matthew Deane as the host.

Selection of the host province
During the press conference of the Miss Grand Songkhla 2023 pageant held on November 30, 2022, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to host the 2024 national pageant of Miss Grand Thailand between the national organizer, MGI PLC, and Hat Yai local governments were also signed. However, the proposition was later canceled due to the opposing political views between the organizer, which supports the center-left parties in the 2023 Thai general election, and the local governments, which support the right-wing politics, as well as the conflict between the national director, Nawat Itsaragrisil, and the 2023 Miss Grand Songkhla provincial director, Chanpen Parisuttho-Namchanda, who disagree with expressing political opinions on the beauty pageant stage.

As the pageant president declared on his personal social media in late-May 2023, Phuket was expected to be a new preliminary host province after the center-left Move Forward Party, making it a clean sweep of all three provincial MP seats contested in the 2023 Thai general election held on May 14. Previously, the province was usually the bastion of right-wing, conservative, and royalist parties, such as the Democrat Party and Palang Pracharath Party. The official confirmation was later made at the Miss Grand Thailand 2024 press conference organized at the Show DC Mega Complex on July 27, 2023. Meanwhile, the grand final round was set for Bangkok, as in all previous editions.

Location and date
The pageant activities was scheduled for March 3 to April 6, with 8 sub-contests, 4 of which, including the Southern Thai costume contest, swimsuit competition, Miss Darling of Phuket, and the Grand Concert Live in Phuket, will be organized in the preliminary host province, Phuket, while the remaining 4 events, namely the national costume competition, Miss Grand T-pop star, preliminary competition, and the grand gala final, will happen in Bangkok.
